From the Back Cover
Retirement can be a time of growth, or adventure, or complete relaxation. Where you spend your retirement years, no matter how you define them, has to be in a place that fulfills your ideal and meets your changing needs. 'Choose a College Town' introduces you to 64 college and/or university towns in 29 states across the United States. Each town offers a distinct community, its major focus being at least one college or university that offers opportunities for adult learners. In addition, the towns have quality medical care, a thriving cultural center, and a vibrant cultural life. You'll discover lively, interesting towns across the climate spectrum. Essential information about the resources in these areas allows you to make informed decisions about selecting an affordable, academically focused environment that could enhance your concept of retirement.

Customer Reviews

Retirement in a College Town
There was some good information but the book was not as useful as I had hoped. The maps were not useful at all and the regional breakdown was strange.

Choosing a college town for retirement
Very informative. A lot of very useful information for each town that let's you "comparative shop" each town against the others.
There could be another 20-30 college towns included for completeness.
The book is set up well in a good order.

Stop Being Such A Crab!
This is great book! It covers the whole country evenly. It's well-rounded, lively, and has a unique point-of-view: college towns!

Every time I look for a good places-to-retire book, virtually every one is picked apart by a bunch of crabs! There's not a single book of this type on Amazon with 4, 4 1/2 or 5 stars! Give me a break! If you can do a better job, write a book on places to retire, yourself!
